We are dedicated to developing students who aspire to lead and serve with integrity and confidence. Our students are driven to succeed and are resilient enough to withstand challenges during their time here, all while being committed to academic growth and making positive contributions in their communities.

We know you want the best for your student, both now and in the future – and so do we. Norwich University has been helping students go beyond their perceived limitations and achieve their loftiest goals for more than two centuries by providing a world-class education, encouraging personal growth, and ensuring students secure positive outcomes during their time on The Hill. 

Acceptance to Norwich University today is the first step to becoming the leaders of tomorrow. Here, your student will join others like themselves who are in pursuit of a rewarding academic and personal experience that will set the stage for their future accomplishments.

Student Sendoffs

Would you like to connect with other members of the Norwich family who live in your area to learn more about the Norwich experience?

Each year, Norwich Clubs across the country coordinate Student Sendoff events for incoming first-years, transfers, returning, and graduate students as well as parents. Ranging from backyard barbecues to clambakes, these social gatherings are a great opportunity to meet and ask questions of current students, parents, and alumni.

Events

Future Leader Camp (FLC) Session II

FLC is a nine-day, military-style summertime adventure experience available to rising high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Activities include rappelling, paintball, first-aid, classroom instruction, a challenge course, and more.
